If you're used to React or Zoom Air, the cushioning will feel firm, even a bit stiff at first. It breaks in, but don't expect cloud-like comfort. Also, the price is steep for performance that's purely lifestyle-focused. That's the Jordan Retro tax, I guess. Let's talk on-feet. I laced up these Air Jordan Retro 3s, and the comfort is... good, not great. It's a retro, so you know what you're getting. The cushioning is firm but supportive. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure wrap around the midfoot. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel their presence. Overall, a comfortable wear for casual use, no doubt. My final take? For $210, the Air Jordan 3 'White Cement' is a must-have if you love the model. The reimagined materials are nice, the shape is on point. It's a comfortable, iconic shoe that works with so much. I'd definitely recommend picking up a pair if you find them at retail. Comparing these to other Retros? The Jordan 3 sits in a sweet spot. It's more structured than a Jordan 1, and I find it more visually interesting than, say, a Jordan 4 for everyday wear. The 'Reimagined' treatment here makes the materials feel a step above some recent general releases.
